Method Detail

processSql

public String processSql(String sql,
                         RowSelection selection)

Description copied from interface: LimitHandler

Return processed SQL query.

Specified by:

processSql in interface LimitHandler

Overrides:

processSql in class AbstractLimitHandler

Parameters:

sql - the SQL query to process.

selection - the selection criteria for rows.

Returns:

Query statement with LIMIT clause applied.

supportsLimit

public boolean supportsLimit()

Description copied from interface: LimitHandler

Does this handler support some form of limiting query results via a SQL clause?

Specified by:

supportsLimit in interface LimitHandler

Overrides:

supportsLimit in class AbstractLimitHandler

Returns:

True if this handler supports some form of LIMIT.

useMaxForLimit

public boolean useMaxForLimit()

Description copied from class: AbstractLimitHandler

Does the LIMIT clause take a "maximum" row number instead of a total number of returned rows?

This is easiest understood via an example. Consider you have a table with 20 rows, but you only want to retrieve rows number 11 through 20. Generally, a limit with offset would say that the offset = 11 and the limit = 10 (we only want 10 rows at a time); this is specifying the total number of returned rows. Some dialects require that we instead specify offset = 11 and limit = 20, where 20 is the "last" row we want relative to offset (i.e. total number of rows = 20 - 11 = 9)

So essentially, is limit relative from offset? Or is limit absolute?

Overrides:

useMaxForLimit in class AbstractLimitHandler

Returns:

True if limit is relative from offset; false otherwise.

supportsLimitOffset

public boolean supportsLimitOffset()

Description copied from interface: LimitHandler

Does this handler's LIMIT support (if any) additionally support specifying an offset?

Specified by:

supportsLimitOffset in interface LimitHandler

Overrides:

supportsLimitOffset in class AbstractLimitHandler

Returns:

True if the handler supports an offset within the limit support.

supportsVariableLimit

public boolean supportsVariableLimit()

Description copied from class: AbstractLimitHandler

Does this handler support bind variables (i.e., prepared statement parameters) for its limit/offset?

Overrides:

supportsVariableLimit in class AbstractLimitHandler

Returns:

True if bind variables can be used; false otherwise.
